Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 979:

Dustin was already on edge, and his face darkened even further when Joanne blocked his way.

“Joanne, seriously?” he snapped, clenching his jaw. “Don’t think my mother’s support gives you the right to control me!” He made a move to shove her aside.

Joanne didn’t flinch. Her voice turned sharp. “Didn’t Dolores say you were meeting Linsey to talk business? Why do you look so serious? Did something happen to her?”

Dustin’s frown deepened. He didn’t have time to wonder how Joanne knew Linsey. “This doesn’t concern you. Move.”

But Joanne was even more certain now—something had gone wrong.

She stood her ground. “You know I’m here because your mother asked me to keep an eye on you. Don’t you get it? If you push me away, she’ll only tighten her hold. You think you can slip out that easily? Why not take me with you? We’ll pretend we’re going on a date. It’ll be easier to sneak out that way. Or do you think you’ll get past the guards alone?”

Joanne spoke so quickly that Dustin barely had time to respond. He had started off impatient, but by the end, her logic caught him off guard. Surprisingly, her words made sense.
